ICE-CREAM COOLER AND SODA-FOUNTAIN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 23, 1908.

Application filed February 13, 1907. Serial No. 357,200.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. WALLACE, citizen of the United States,residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Coolers and Soda-Fountains, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being bad therein tothe accompanying drawing.

- My invention relates to improvements in ice cream cooler and sodafountain cabinets.

The object of this invention is to provide a cooler that is so arrangedas to be cooled by the freezing mixture used to keep the ice cream coolin order to avoid the expense of separate ice chambers to maintain thelow temperature required in coolers.

In the accompanying.drawings like nomerals of reference designate likeparts throughout the several views.

Figure 1. is an elevational view of the refrigerator cabinet showing theleft hand ortionin section and taken along the line A. B. in Figs. 2. 3.and 4. Fig. 2. is a transverse sectional elevational view taken alongthe line C. D. in Fig. 1.; Fig. 3. is a similar view takenv along theline E. F. in Fig. 1; and, Fig. 4. is a similar View taken along theline G. H. in Fig. 1.

The left hand portion of the soda fountain cabinet shown in section isidentical with that portion shown in elevation in construction andarrangement, so that a description of the parts shown in the sectionalview will answer shown in the right hand portion of the cabinet.

The ice cream compartments are situated at the ends of the cabinet. Theice cream can 1 is adapted to loosely fit in the perforated cylindricalseparating vessel 2 which vessel is situated centrally in thecylindrical ice tank 3 and prevents the freezing mixture contactingdirectly with the ice cream can so that the latter can may readily beremoved and replaced by another.

The space between the perforated sepa rating cylinder 2 and the icecontaining tank 3 is filled with a freezing mixture which is usuallycomposed of rock salt and broken ice, and maintains the ice cream.contained in the can 1 at a low. temperature.

A pipe coil 4 surrounds the ice tank 3 and a pipe 5 extends from a tankcharged with carbonated water situated in a cellar under the cabinet orother convenient place, and

connects at its tip end the top coil of the pipe-coils 4. The pipe 6 isconnected at one of its ends to the bottom coil of the primary pipecoils 4 and extends up to and under the syrup containing vessels 7 toand into the center refrigerating chamber '8 to the sec ondary pipe coil9. A pipe 10 connects said coil 9 to the faucet 12 supported by thesupporting standard 13.

A larger lid 14 coversthe open top of the ice containing tank 3 and thislid is provided with a central opening situated over the top of the icecream can 1 which is provided with a smaller lid 15 so that the icecontaining ing chamber 8 and directly under the top A removable door 20isprothe said syrup vessels are of the counter.

vided whereby held in place in said auxiliary refrigerating compartment18.

Ice is placed in the compartment formed by the lining 11 which issituated in the chamber 8 for the purpose of cooling the ondary pi ecoils 9 and also to supply a current of co (1 air to the space under thesup- I and the porting rack 20 supporting the syrup containing vessels 7to maintain said vessels at a low temperature to prevent a fermentationof the syrups contained in said vessels.

The secondary refrigerating chamber 21 is situated between the ice creamcompartment center portion; and the sink 22 is situated at the centerportion of the cabinet, and the said compartment is provided with a doorsimilar to the door 23, and said compartment is used as a refrigeratingchamber for which it is well adapted being located adjacent the icecream cooling tank, and chamber I is readily maintained at a lowtemperature by the freezing mixture surrounding the ice cream can 1.

The partition 24 situated between the tank 3 ma be closed while removinthe ice carbonated water flowing through the secchamber I and thechamber 21 does not ex-' .stant level.- A water supply pipe 29 videdwith a suitable valve 30 0 erated y a foot treadle 31 en plies the tanor sink 22 tend from the bottom to the top of said chamber 21 but saidpartition is constructed so as to provide the top and bottom air s aces25 and 26 through which s aces air reely circulates between the cham ersI and 21.

Over the top outer wall of the secondary chamber 21 is a drip board 27which is inclined downwardly toward the sink 22. The sink 22 ispreferably'situated at theccnter of the cabinet'in order to be near thefaucets 12 inorder that the glasses used in dis ensing the beverages maybe washed wit convenience.

An overflow or waste pipe 28. through which the surplus water of thesink 22 flows maintains the water in said sink at a conrowith freshwater w en such is re uired.

The exterior walls and partitions of the refrigeratonand the coolingchambers may be lined with any known non-conductingmaterial used in themanufacture of refrigerators. I cl'aim:-

1. The combination with acounter, dis-v pensing faucets, and a.refrigerating chamber situated at one end of said counter, of aresurface thereof.

frigerant tank situated in said chamber, a removable ice cream cansituated in .said

- refrigerant tank, a perforated cylinder sp1 rounding said Ice creamcan w thin said refrigerant tank, and a pi e coil surrounding saidrefrigerant tank an in contact with the 2. The combination with acounter, dis- .pensing faucets, and a chamber situated under and atone'end of said counter, of a refrigerant'tank situated in said chamber,a removable ice cream can in said tank, aperforated separating cylindersituated centrally in said refrigerant tank and adapted to receive saidice. cream can, a pipefcoil surrounding said refrigerant tank and incontact with the outer surface thereof, and refrigerating chamberadjacent to said end chamber and connecting therewith to be cooled bythe refrigerant, said latter chamber having upper and lower aircirculating openings connecting with said end refrigerating chamber. 1

In testimony whereof I afiix my in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM H. WALLACE.
